With his many talents, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) can be described as a 'border crosser': Between music, mathematics and astrophysics, between music, theology, philosophy and psychology. The aim of the lecture is to make the border crossings in some of his compositions understandable and audible. Works will be performed and linked to fundamental questions of existence, which Bach knows how to describe wonderfully in music. This is another reason why his music is comforting and uplifting for many.
